enough hp for these harrows?

phillip d · Feb 20, 2010

Was looking at a Klonskide (maybe incorrece spelling but close enough) set of harrows the other day and had a talk with a reputable salesman we often deal with there and was wondering if we have enough power to pull them.They are basically a 14' res-till only without the front disks and 5 sets of points instead of 4.The largest tractor we have is a 4wd M125X Kubota.It has 125 engine hp and 105 pto.The general rule of thumb in these parts is 10 hp per foot on a res-till but that's at 7 or 8 " working depth.We only grow barley and silage corn and can get away with 4 or 5" depth seed bed.The salesman who also sells Kubota's says it will pull it at that depth ,more easily if we put on a set of snap on duals.There are 2 points on each side on the outside of the frame that can be removed,but I doubt that 4 little points would make that much extra drag.I'm not buying a bigger tractor to pull them,but if I am convinced we can pull them,we may pick them up.Thanks for any input,pd.
